I am getting really confused...

If 8 bits is a byte, then what is a kibble? This Kibble and Bits thing is driving me to nuts.


>>Half a byte being a nibble has always been a favorite of mine:-)
>>And there's also a quarter is 2 bits, does that make fifty cents (2 quarters) a nibble.
>>
>>>Yeah, that's what I originally thought. As I was composing my reply, doubt started to leak into the gray matter, which is strange...usually things leak out. Anyway, I asked a coworker and he said, "I don't know" and looked it up on the internet. I posted what he found.
